| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.74
Description
The issue is related to an array-index-out-of-bounds fix in the
dtReadFirst function of the jfs filesystem. The value of stbl can sometimes be out of bounds due to a bad filesystem, and a check has been added to return an error code in such cases.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.74, update to version 6.6.74 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider adding additional checks for filesystem integrity to minimize the risk of exploitation.
